Article Abstract
Diseases involving the pediatric masticator space often vary from those encountered in adults, with congenital abnormalities encountered more commonly and the assortment of benign and malignant neoplasms encountered differing in type and frequency. Familiarity with the imaging findings for these diseases is important for timely and accurate diagnosis and management. This article briefly reviews masticator space anatomy and provides detailed description of the imaging findings associated with benign and malignant diseases that may be encountered in the pediatric masticator space.

The screw-retained implant-supported crown is a durable, aesthetic restoration, but debonding between the crown and abutment remains a challenge to survivability. The purpose of this work was to devise an abutment shape that can be embedded into the crown while the crown is being additively manufactured. The result was a mechanically retained, no-adhesive abutment and crown unit that is mounted to the implant fixture.

Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that develop from Schwann cells in the nerve sheath and can occur in peripheral, cranial, or autonomic nerves. Foramen ovale schwannomas are a rare variant in the head and neck region representing 1%-2% of all intracranial schwannomas, with parapharyngeal space involvement complicating surgical resection. A 48-year-old male presented with headaches after an episode of light-headedness along with facial pain.

Background: The buccal fat pad has gained attention because of its anatomical characteristics and functions; however, its morphology and relationship with surrounding tissues have been inconsistently described. This study aimed to reassess the anatomical morphology of the buccal fat pad.
Methods: Twelve human cadavers donated to Keio University School of Medicine were used during this study.

First permanent molars play a critical role in mastication, development of occlusion, dentoalveolar growth and maintenance of dentofacial and skeletal harmony. The first permanent molar is the most caries-prone tooth in the permanent dentition due to its early exposure to the oral environment. Additionally, it takes the longest time to develop from its intrauterine formation to eruption in the oral cavity making it particularly susceptible to hypoplastic changes during development.
